What are some pretty flowers I can pot for a baby boy? They need to survive through all kinds of weather?

Im wanting to pot some pretty flowers for my son to place on his grave. I have done this before, but the frost and or sun kills them and they end up looking grotty. He has atificial flowers but they just dont have the same feeling. Any Ideas?

well i dont know the weather where you live but a peace lily is a very hardy plant and has beautiful white flowers.maybe you should consider a nice shrub or bush or even a tree.i planted a christmas tree last may on my brothers grave and decorated it at christmas for him.good luck.

Potted flowers probably won%26#039;t work because they dry out too quickly. In old fashioned cemetaries, people could plant flowers right on the gravesite. Is this an option? Then you could choose a hardy perennial for your zone that blooms around the anniversary of your son%26#039;s death.





And then I%26#039;d fill it in with violas (they are like miniature pansies) -- you can get them in many different colors these days, and they self-seed, so as long as you keep the weeds clear, you%26#039;ll have more flowers coming along next year. Also, a folk name for viola is %26quot;heart%26#039;s ease.%26quot;





If you can%26#039;t plant in the ground, you might get a very large pot and fill it with rosemary -- that%26#039;s for rememberance. They are fairly hardy, and if you take them home during the winter, they will bloom in the very earliest part of spring with pretty blue flowers. (If you live in a warm, dry climate, you can get away with leaving rosemary there at the cemetary full time.)
